[nysbirds-l] Western Kingbird (Kings) NO

2014-09-20 Thread keir randall
I took a quick look around Dreier Offerman (AKA Calvert Vaux Park) late this evening and couldn't locate today's Western Kingbird. Apologies if this is a post too many on this bird but it's a very good bird for Brooklyn and I find "no" posts are useful. cheers Keir RandallBrooklyn

[nysbirds-l] Shorebirding in the Pine Barrens (?)

2014-09-20 Thread Steve Walter
I went with Karlo Mirth to the Long Island Pine Barrens today, trying to get him September insect specialties. One of the stops was the Calverton Ponds, where water levels were shockingly low. Another way to look at that is that there was shorebird habitat - and there were shorebirds. Killdeer

Found by Anthony Ciancimino at Miller Field in a large puddle near the hanger. This is at the end of New Dorp Lane and across the street from the beach. Isaac Grant Senior Loan Officer -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

Unfortunately all the birds were flushed off the spit (lot of people about now) and the heron flew up towards the north end of the pond and out of sight. Was fishing successfully, so will most likely return to the spot. Angus Wilson -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

The Western Kingbird was last seen about 20 minutes ago flying south towards six diamonds park. Has not returned to Calvert Vaux Park, but there is good habitat adjacent to Six Diamonds. Rob Sent via Pigeon Post -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

On sandspit at the ocean end of pond with a couple of Great Blue Herons. Not the easiest spot to get to: 1/3-1/2 mile hike on sand from road access on west side (Beach Ln) or east side (Lilly Pond Ln). Angus Wilson, New York City & The Springs, NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

The previously reported Western Kingbird at Dreier-Offerman park a.k.a. Calvert Vaux Park in Brooklyn is still present. The bird is currently hawking along the dirt road that enters at the south side of the park, adjacent to the south cove. Rob Sent via Pigeon Post -- NYSbirds-L List Info:
